Classification of the variations of the palmar recurrent branch of the median nerve with special emphasis on angulation.

CONCLUSIONS: Close attention should be paid to the potential anatomical variabilities when performing nerve surgeries. For the palmar recurrent branch, the more medial the origin and the greater the angle it makes with the median nerve, the more dangerous it is. This classification is helpful in unifying the language and comparing results.
